Fourteen of us met in Gata on a warm, sunny morning
I was looking forward to this walk, which we have not
done for 18 months
Oh the joy of the mobile telephone……….
David normally leads this walk, but agreed to let me do
it so that I can confirm the route on my satnav
Although I have walked this route many times, I
had never led it before
Nick was also using his satnav, and we compared notes
He follows the whole route on his satnav, I use the
waymarks as cairns, but both methods work well
For some of the group this was their first attempt to
climb Soldates
Alan found this cross like item and has now become the
official group standard bearer
Nick told me it is actually Dels Serrellars, which is
confirmed by the new sign post
However it will always be Soldates to me
The track was easy to follow, much improved by a
particularly large cairn
Despite this we took much longer than normal to complete
the walk
It was almost six hours when we got back to Gata, nearly
an hour longer than usual
However no one complained, all were just glad to reach
the bar at last
There are more photographs of the walk in the video slideshow.
